The "waiting" they did probably was unintentional. Your application may have been lingering under some pile of junk for days without anybody noticing or stamping it, so by the time they opened your app it may have already been past the 2/17/09 cutoff. So maybe it's not a matter of skirting the rule, it's just that they don't really know when the package really arrived. They wouldn't deliberately give you a chance like that.
Other people have been affected by similar time lags in other ways; for example, they file an I-485 and the Fedex tracking shows it physically arrived on a given date, but then the receipt date is a week or two later than that.
Ok so it makes more sense then....Like I said I was surprised myself, I had already prepared a second package after I realized the mistake.
